Avalanche

Came across a big debris field. May have come down around January 9th when we were getting the wet heavy snow. Maybe mid storm. The crown was filled in or out of view when conditions cleared and you could see up high. May have come down from Daly, or the high point just up valley of Daly. 45 cm of snow on top of the downed timber that the avalanche took out. Aspen trees 30 cm across were snapped like twigs. Given the distance the avalanche ran, and destruction it did, would estimate it as R3 D3.
